Serious question here: Can we trust these numbers out of this admin? I've not been super plugged into the latest news out of the BLS, but I seem to remember a lot of political firings in the 'econ' part of the government.

I do not mean to be glib here either or start a flame war. I am genuinely asking.

It's currently headed by a pretty by-the-books guy, after a series of trump loyalists were rejected. Next up for nomination is another boring career professional, who actually pushed back against trumps bullshit and survived.
